The Medical Board of California has revoked the medical license of Dr. Victor Lynn Perry, a Fresno surgeon with about two decades of experience, after he was accused of inappropriately touching a patient's genital area during an examination in 2021. The board found that Dr. Perry engaged in sexual misconduct and unprofessional conduct, and ordered him to pay $40,000 in expenses related to the investigation. Fresno police also reported that they believed Dr. Perry was being "elusive" and "deceptive" based on his cellphone activity.
Why it matters
This case highlights the importance of accountability for medical professionals who abuse their position of trust. The revocation of Dr. Perry's license sends a strong message that sexual misconduct will not be tolerated, and helps protect patients from potential harm. It also underscores the challenges in investigating such allegations, as Fresno police found Dr. Perry to be evasive during their investigation.
The details
According to the Medical Board of California, a patient visited Dr. Perry's north Fresno office in September 2021 for a follow-up appointment after neck surgery. During the examination, Dr. Perry allegedly pushed on the front of the patient's groin in a half-circle motion, pulled out her menstrual pad, and assaulted her with his ungloved fingers. The patient immediately left the examination room and reported the incident to the receptionist. Fresno police were unable to locate Dr. Perry at any of his known medical offices, but used cellphone data to track him to a location in Kerman, where they believed he was being "elusive" and "deceptive".
